Q: UITableViewRowAnimationNone - behaving as UITableViewRowAnimation(Top/Bottom) I have set the row insertion with the following code. I am only using UITableViewRowAnimationNone when inserting and deleting the rows, but sometimes ,as you can see in the gif below, the row animates in from the top or bottom. For the most part it doesn't animate, as I want it, but sometimes it animates on insertion and deletion. I am not talking about the table view expanding to show the inserted cell, I mean the cell appears to be sliding in from the bottom or top.

Here is the method that controls the insertion animation:
- (void)contentHeaderFooterView:(NFContentHeaderFooterView *)headerFooterView sectionOpened:(NSInteger)section{

    NSIndexPath *pathToAdd = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:section];

    [self.tableView beginUpdates];
    [self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:@[pathToAdd] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
    [self.tableView endUpdates];

}

And here is the method that controls the deletion animation.
- (void)contentHeaderFooterView:(NFContentHeaderFooterView *)headerFooterView sectionClosed:(NSInteger)section{

    NSIndexPath *pathToDelete = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:section];

    [self.tableView beginUpdates];
    [self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:@[pathToDelete] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
    [self.tableView endUpdates];

}

A: I've had similar issues with table updates not performing the animation I gave it directly. I can't say for sure why, but one thing I can suggest is, instead of doing a specific row deletion between begin/endUpdates, you can just to a hard reloadData.

[UIView performWithoutAnimation:^{

RECSTRATS is an acronym for Recreation Strategy and the name given to a process that is underway to help shape the future of recreation in Mammoth Lakes.
"A vision for recreation in Mammoth Lakes and a Strategic Plan for its implementation." RECSTRATS identifies a recreation vision for Mammoth Lakes, 3 guiding principles for prioritization of projects, programs or services, and 7 core Strategies for implementation. RECSTRATS will ultimately shape the future of recreation in Mammoth Lakes. Yes, it is a BIG deal!
What is the Recreation Vision for Mammoth Lakes as identified in RECSTRATS?
What are the 3 Guiding Principles?
Stewardship/Management: The use of recreation as a stewardship/management tool provides Mammoth Lakes with a significant resource. From a resource perspective, we need to manage recreation capacity including existing and new recreation opportunities both now and in the future.
Economic Development: The use of recreation as an economic development tool is important to improve and grow the local economy. This includes the ability to build upon existing core recreation activities and create an overall defendable market position for the Town of Mammoth Lakes as a recreation destination.
Quality of Life: The use of recreation for community enhancement and quality of life improvements makes the Town of Mammoth Lakes a desirable place to live and work. An enhanced environment also serves as a key driver for business.
What do the 7 Core Strategies mean?
In an effort to implement the recreation strategic plan and achieve the vision RECSTRATS identified, 7 core strategies (once implemented) will make Mammoth Lakes and the surrounding Inyo National Forest one of the most desirable regions for recreation in the country. The core strategies are not stand-alone silos, but rather they integrate and link with one another. For example, if you are a world-class athlete, your interest and passion can be found in the High Altitude Training, Trails and Non-Winter Recreation Activities. If youth activities or baseball and soccer programming is a priority, your interests can be found in the Municipal Sports and Recreation strategy.
Highest Quality Winter Recreation Activities: To provide the highest quality and variety of winter recreation activities for both local residents and visitors alike.
Highest Quality Non-Winter Recreation Activities: To provide the highest quality and variety of non-winter recreation activities for both local residents and visitors alike.
Municipal Sports and Recreation: To provide local residents with high quality recreation facilities and diverse programming which can lead to an improved quality of life for all.
Trails: To develop, maintain and program the highest quality integrated trails system.
Special Events: To provide infrastructure, logistic and facilitation support for regional recreation-based special events.
High Altitude Training: To develop the Mammoth Lakes region as one of the premier high altitude summer and winter sports training centers.
Arts & Culture: To provide infrastructure, logistic and facilitation support for regional arts & culture.
Why do we need RECSTRATS?
Mammoth Lakes is an alpine recreation destination in the Eastern Sierra, completely surrounded by the Inyo National Forest. Residents and visitors alike have been recreating in and around Mammoth for decades, accessing the public lands for diverse recreation activities. With the Town's incorporation, there was the development of municipal recreation facilities including parks and trails. While there was general acknowledgement of the value recreation brought to the community - from both a quality of life and economic sustainability perspective - there has not been a focused effort to enhance and expand the recreation experience in Mammoth Lakes. It is intended that this effort will assist the Town in delivering the very highest quality of life for our residents and the highest quality of experience for our visitors as stated in the 2007 Town of Mammoth Lakes General Plan.
Who will benefit from RECSTRATS?
What can we expect from the Implementation of RECSTRATS?
In July 2010 the Town Council accepted an offer by MLTPA to finance a facilitated process for completing the Mammoth Region Recreation Council (MRRC) / Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) reorganization process. The Council's Recreation Reorganization Subcommittee appointed community members and staff to a Recreation Strategy (RECSTRATS) Steering Committee with the direction to deliver a recreation vision and strategy for Mammoth Lakes while also identifying opportunities that might be realized by formalizing the Town's relationship with the Inyo National Forest.
What community members participated in the formation of RECSTRATS?
The Town of Mammoth Lakes RECSTRATS Leadership Team consisted of Mayor ProTem, Jo Bacon and Councilmember, Rick Wood. The appointed members of the Town of Mammoth Lakes RECSTRATS Steering Committee were: Tony Colasardo – Town of Mammoth Lakes Recreation Commissioner, Ray Jarvis – Town of Mammoth Lakes Public Works Director, Ralph Lockhart – Snowcreek Athletic Club, John Morris – Mammoth Lakes Tourism Board Member, Greg Norby – Mammoth Community Water District, and Jim Smith – Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. Facilitation was provided by Carl Ribaudo, from the Strategic Marketing Group, and Danna Stroud, past Town of Mammoth Lakes Tourism and Recreation Director. Funding and Support Services was provided by Mammoth Lakes Trails and Public Access Foundation (MLTPA).
Has RECSTRATS been adopted by Town Council?
Yes, the Mammoth Lakes Town Council adopted RECSTRATS on November 3, 2010 and empowered the Recreation Commission to develop a Recreation Strategy Implementation Plan.
What were the Implementation Recommendations from RECSTRATS?
What is the Recreation Strategy Implementation Plan Phase?
Who is developing the Recreation Strategy (RECSTRATS) Implementation Plan?

The area around where the Pike River empties into Lake Michigan had been an important settlement for indigenous people for over 1,000 years. They called the area kenozia or "place of the pike" (trout) The Pike River was a major spawing river for trout from Lake Michigan.
The area was opened to settlers in the 1830's and grew to become a major manufacturing centre. Initially, it was known as Pike Creek. This name was changed to Southport, a name that lives on in the south of the cirt until finally Kenosha. For much of the 20th century, it manufactured millions of automobiles with such brands as Rambler, Nash, Hudsom and American Motors Corporation (AMC). In fact, in 1902, Nash produced the first automobile that used a steering wheel instead of the usual tiller steering arrangement. In time, the once-great auto manufacturing industry contracted and Kenosha was not immune to its impact. It remains however, the world headquarters for Snap-On Tools Inc and Jockey International. Because of its location mid-way between Chicago and Milwaukee, it has become more of a bedroom community although economically, it has diversified into medical and technical fields.
The approaches to Kenosha are clear from all directions. Kenosha has 3 harbors - the main harbor in downtown Kenosha, Simmons Island Marina a short distance beyond the main harbor and Southport Marina located a short distance to the south.
There are two harbor entrances. The main entrance provides access to the main harbor and, beyond that, to Simmons Island Harbor. South of the main entrance is the entrance to Southport Marina. Both of these entrances are straightforward.
The main entrance to Kenosha Harbor is well marked. It is protected to the northeast by a 610 ft / 185 m outer breakwater that runs on a northwest - southeast line. This breakwater is marked at its southern end with the Kenosha Breakwater Light. The entrance to Kenosha main harbor is through the main channel between two breakwaters. The pier head of each breakwater is marked with a lighted aid.
Make your course so that you pass to the east of the outer breakwater. It is marked with the Kenosha Breakwater Light - Fl RED visible approximately 5.23 nm.Once you have cleared this light, alter course to 270oand proceed into the channel. The north channel breakwater is marked with an ISO WHITE light visible 4 nm. The south channel breakwater is marked by a Fl GREEN light visible 6.8 nm.
Be careful that you clear the Kenosha Breakwater Light, leaving it on your starboard. You may pick up the Kenosha Harbor Light (ISO WHITE) first and it lays behind the outer breakwater.
Keep offshore, passing the entrance into Southport Marina which is a Q WHITE on the south side of the entrance and Fl RED on the north side. Turning west into the main channel after rounding the South Pier Light Fl GREEN.
Proceed up the channel to the end and make the 90° turn. Kenosha Yacht Club will be on your starboard.
Continue past Kenosha Yacht Club until you reach a fixed bridge at the end of the main harbor. This bridge has a charted 16 ft/4.9 m clearance. The marina services only power vessels. Once under the bridge, Simmons Island Marina will be on your starboard.
Southport Marina is a major marina located immediately south of the main harbor entrance. It has its own separate entrance.
Keep offshore, leaving the to your starboard. Continue approximately .5 nm south on a heading of approximately 200°T until you see the Southport Marina entrance light – Fl RED visible about 7 nm. That light stands on the pier head of the south breakwater. Keep in mind that you will also see the Fl GREEN light that stands on the north breakwater of the marina entrance. This can appear confusing. Disregard the Fl GREEN light and continue south until you are south of the Fl RED light and abeam the Q WHITE light that is situated on shore. Once you see the Q WHITE light which is visible about 6.8 nm, turn west and begin to make your entrance. Bend your course to the starboard, keeping the Fl RED light on your beam. Once you are well inside the entrance channel, the position of the RED and GREEN lights will resolve themselves and you can proceed to enter the marina.
Sail north until the Q WHITE light located on shore is on your port beam. It is visible about 6.8 nm. You will also see the Fl RED light situated on the pier head of the south breakwater of the entrance. Beyond it, you will see the Fl GREEN light marking the north side of the marina entrance. Disregard the Fl GREEN light until you are inside the marina entrance.
Once abeam the Q WHITE light, turn to port and begin your entry. Bend your course to the starboard, keeping the Fl RED light on your starboard beam. Once you are well inside the entrance channel, the position of the RED and GREEN lights will resolve themselves and you can proceed to enter the marina.
Kenosha Yacht Club has about a half dozen slips available for transient sailors. There is no fuel dock. There is no pumpout facility. Water and power are available. The club has a well-equiped clubhouse with restrooms and showers. There is a restaurant and bar which is also open to the public.
Simmons Island Marina has 142 slips with several set aside for transients. There is no fuel dock. There is a pumpout station. Water and power are available. Other facilities include washroom and showers, on-site mechanical services and a convenience store.
Southport Marina is a large, publicly owned 440 slip marina. There are a number of transient slips available. There is a fuel dock and pumpout facility. This is a full-service marina capable of carrying out repairs and maintenance to engine, mechanical and electrical systems as well as fibreglass work and sail rigging. There are restrooms, showers and laundry facilites. Other amenities include a pool, hot tub, ship's store and free internet access.
Great Lakes Yacht Sales (262-654-0207) is located in the northeast corner of the main harbor to the north of the yacht club. They are a full-service marina. They are capable of carrying out a wide range of engine, mechanical, electrical, fibreglass and canvas repairs.
Pick 'n Save is the nearest full-service grocery store, about 4.5 mi/7.25 km. They will deliver groceries for an added fee.
BMO Harris Bank is located about .5 mi/.8 km from Sothport Marina.
Kenosha Medical Center provides comprehensive medical services. It is located about 1 mi/1.6 km south of Southport Marina.
Modern Apothecary is located about 1 mi/1.6 km north of Southport Marina.
There are a number of restaurants within walking distance of both the Kenosha Yacht Club and Southport Marina.
The yacht club itself has a restaurant open to transients and the public. Waling up to and crossing the 50th Street bridge, brings you in reach of Marina Garden, a Greek-American family restaurant, Captain Mike's, a well-known pub and Villa D'Carlo, an Italian restaurant.
Near the Southport Marina, you can find Ashling on the Lough. a classic, Irish-style pub, Frank's Diner, a rail-car style diner and the Wine Knot a wine bar and bistro.
There is no shortage of fun things to do in Kenosha. For sailors, a first stop would naturally be the Southport Light Station Museum. The lighthouse and maritime museum, inside the keeper's house, documents Kenosha's lighthouse keepers, shipping and fishing history. Also climb the 1866 Southport Lighthouse. The tower stands 55 feet above the lighthouse grounds. See Kenosha, Lake Michigan and into Illinois and Racine County.
There is a neat electric streecar that you can ride. These beautifully restored electric streetcars travel a 2-mile loop, providing a scenic tour of the Lake Michigan shoreline, HarborPark, two historic districts and downtown business district taking you by shops, restaurants and museums.
The Kenosha Public Museum is a natural sciences and fine and decorative arts museum. Established in 1933, the Museum's collections have grown to over 80,000, including 1,200 works in the fine arts collection. Exhibit programming includes mammoths, world cultures, Native Americans, zoology, geology, fossils, and fine and decorative arts.

The New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that while fire districts are subject to the Open Public Records Act, volunteer fire companies are not.(Photo: ~File)
FRANKLIN (Somerset) - In a narrowly defined ruling, the state Supreme Court ruled Monday that while municipal fire districts are subject to the requirements of the state's Open Public Records Act (OPRA), volunteer fire departments are not public agencies and do not have to follow OPRA.
The decision came after Robert Verry, a former South Bound Brook police chief, submitted a records request Feb. 28, 2013, to Franklin Fire District No. 1 for the constitution and bylaws of the Millstone Valley Fire Department, a volunteer fire company in the fire district.
Verry previously said he wanted the records because had read about a lawsuit filed against the fire district because of the actions of a line officer of the fire company.

READ: Megan's Law offender will be tried for volunteering at Franklin church
READ: Franklin Woman's Club knits, crochets on Knitting in Public Day
"As an internal affairs specialist, and former president of a volunteer squad, I was curious to see what the administrative and line structure of the Millstone Volunteer Fire Department was, so that I could better understand the merits of the lawsuit," Verry said.
But the fire district denied the request, saying that it does not maintain such records for its fire companies. Verry then appealed to the Government Records Council, which required the fire district to obtain the documents from Millstone Valley and turn them over to Verry.
The fire district then took the Government Records Council's hearing to a state Appellate court, which sided with Verry, and ruled that the fire district and fire company were subject to OPRA. The fire district then appealed that decision to the state Supreme Court.
The justices ruled Monday that the fire district, whose members are elected, is a public agency and should release the records or obtain them from the fire company and release them. The court ruled that the constitution and bylaws should have been given to Verry because the fire district should have had those documents on file.
However, the justices wrote that the state Legislature did not intend for volunteer fire companies to be considered public agencies and be subject to OPRA..
Justice Barry Albin dissented, saying that the Millstone Valley Fire Company is a public agency.
"The majority has taken the wrong path to get to the right destination," he wrote, "but that path may lead in the future to the withholding of important documents that belong in the public realm."
Albin wrote that the decision "parses the language of OPRA in a way that will lead to absurd results that the Legislature could not have intended."

Violet has new powers, there's a new villain, and EDNA MODE IS BACK.
After releasing a sick new movie poster yesterday, the Incredibles 2 trailer has dropped overnight, and there's a lot to unpack.
That's the premise of the movie: Elastigirl is enlisted by a slimy-looking lawyer to help "bring supers back into the sunlight".
It's a change that affects the whole family: Mr Incredible stays behind in the family's brand new home, where he learns how to look after a very special baby Jack-Jack, a cranky pre-teen Dash, and stereotypical teenager Violet.
The trailer also reassures fans that our favourite characters from the 14-year-old original Incredibles movie will return.
Edna Mode — voiced by director Brad Bird — will star again, as well as super sidekick Frozone.
The trailer even includes a scene that harks back to the infamous "Honey, where's my super-suit?" bit from the original.
For the first time, the trailer has also hinted at a new villain (there's no mention of the Underminer this time). That villain is called Screen Slaver, and we don't know much about him yet.
Also, Violet can now throw her force fields. Nice.

Q: Why Object manager can not instantiate Non-injectable? Magento 2 uses Object manager to create all objects.
Injectable
Object (typically a singleton) that can be instantiated by the object manager.

Non-injectable
Object that cannot be instantiated by the object manager.

these statements are very confusing.can you any one explain ?

A: Doc should say "Object that should not be instantiated by object manager".
Injectables are usually stateless services without identity (EventManager, CustomerAccountManagementService). They can be asked for in constructor.
Non-injectables are usually entities (e.g. product, category) having identities and state. Because they have identities, so it is important with which exactly instance of that entity you want to load. When you ask for such entity in constructor OM will not be able to figure out which exactly instance of entity to provide you (Product 1 or Product2 or ProductX), so it will just provide empty product.
That is why entities are non-injectables and should not be asked for in constructor.


Banksy painted the Grim Reaper onto the Thekla ship and nightclub venue in 2003.
Exposure to the elements was causing ongoing damage. In August 2014, while the Thekla was in dry dock, DHP Family (owner of the boat) removed the Grim Reaper from the ship's steel hull.
This artwork is now on a long term loan and exhibited at the M-Shed museum in Bristol (UK).

In the novel, of mice and men, theer was symbolizm throughout the story. In the beginning of the novel the stting was perfect, like "The Garden of Eden". LIke in "The Garden of Eden" there was a snake, and in this novel it slipped across the water sggestin possible evil to come. The rabbits on the other hand symoloized Lenny's joy and goodness, and formed the bases of his dreams. In the beginning Of Mice and Men, the story began looking like a perfect world. The author describes the setting as a wonderful place where "willows fresh and green with every spring: .
p. 1) the perfect world resembles: The garden of Eden", how everything was in place and the surroundin was in paradise. " ON the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie ….
among them". (p. 1) It was a wonderful place to be, because the setting is peaceful and no evil or wrond doing is happening. The snimals do not live in fear because the setting is perfect and it sounds accomadating to everyone and everything.
All thought the setting was perfect in the beginning, there must be evil to come.As the snake was in "The garden of Eden" as a form of evil, there should be a form of evil to come further in the story. Teh form of evin that appars in the setting is a snake. The snake also appeared in "The garden of Eden", and if so tehre must be some sort of evil to come. When the snake slipped across the pool, it examined the scene like a submarine would when hunting down itz prey. The snake must of picked it's target, like a submarine would. "a water snake alipped along on the pool, it's head held up like a little periscope".
(p.) And that someone that the snake targeted must have been Lenny, because he dies at the end of the story. As the snake slipped across the pool "the reeds jerked slightly in the current". (p. 7)When the snake moved across the pool and the reeds started to jerk, symbolizing the peaceful world being disrupted by an evil form.
Moreover, the snake symbolizes evil and the negative energy in the story, but the dreams of rabbits and the farm, they symbolize good and bring positive energy to the story and Lenny's mind. Teh rabbits in the story symbolize Lenny's innocent side. They also are a ositive enery in the story. When the setting was described in the beginning, the rabbit appeared showing that they are a positive energy. "Rabbits comout of the brush to sit on the sand in the evening". (p.
1)Also the rabbits are a symbol of Lenny's innocent side, because the rabbits do not mean to harm anyone but only are there to comfort Lenny's caring side. The rabbits were also in Lenny's dream of teh farm. All he wanted to do was to tend to the rabbits on the fam. "And I get to tend the rabbits".
(p. 105)The dream of having a farm and rabbits was what drove Lenny in life.And when George would describe the farm again and again Lenny would become happy inside, and would picture the farm in his head. Nevertheless, Lenny's dreams did not come true/was he dead at the end, of the story. In conclusion, symbolism is used throughout the whole story, And "The garden of Eden" was a perfect world and so was the setting until the snake appeared.
The snake was a form of evil and he disrpted the setting with his presence. The dream of the farm and tending to the rabbits was a wonderful dream, where Lenny's imagination would go to when George told him of the farm.

Forbes Technology Council: The 'Great Redefinition' Of Work In 2022
Madhu Chamarty, CEO and Co-founder at BeyondHQ, contributed this piece to the Forbes Technology Council, published January 3, 2022. Read it in full here.
Over the past 18 months, there has been relentless attention around workforce and workplace themes like the "Great Resignation" and the "Great Migration," which has raised some important questions: What was real? What was overblown? What did we get just plain wrong in 2021?
Most crucially, with a clearer understanding of that 2021 baseline, what can we expect regarding an ever-changing world of work in 2022 and beyond?
Was the "Great Resignation" strictly voluntary?
It seems that every month in 2020-2021 saw record numbers of "unanticipated resignations" in the U.S. While data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows monthly rates of 185,000 to 290,000 in the decade prior to 2020, those numbers nearly doubled to 553,000 in July 2020 and were above 400,000 in September 2021. Beyond actual departures, 4 in 10 employees have stated a consideration about leaving their current place of work.
But "resignation" can be a misnomer in this context, as it connotes more of a decision made by those with the economic power to pull up stakes and take another position. It glosses over the individual experiences of those forced out of the workplace — whose decisions were more related to physical safety and family survival than the self-actualization motivation of others.
Truths About Worker Flight
From the volume of stories about largely white-collar tech workers, you would think that everyone moved from NYC to Florida or Silicon Valley to Austin and that California was in its economic death throes. While pandemic lockdowns thrust the appeal of less densely populated areas into the forefront of many urban workers' minds, the story is not that simple.
Movement out of major urban centers in California was predominantly to other less dense parts of the state — usually within 200 miles — and Texas and Arizona were the top draws outside the state. Manhattanites may have initially fled — but, for a growing number, the move was not permanent, as many have returned to the urban core for at least part of their work lives.
Contrary to much of the "Great Migration" narrative, the vast majority of those "working from home" stayed in place or nearby. But what became clear in 2021 was that this helped some much more than others — with the big winners being (not surprisingly) high-income men in their 30s and 40s, according to the survey of 30,000 U.S. workers.
Companies Reconsider Their Physical Footprint In Surprising Ways
Tales of downtown ghost towns have been common, but there have been some surprising activity in the commercial real estate space. Tech giants including Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook have gone shopping for commercial real estate and are investing now because prices are low. They are making moves indicative of long-term bets on cities and established headquarters, along with additional large satellite locations in major secondary markets.
Predictions are always challenging, especially when current times remain intellectually and emotionally difficult to grasp. The workplace journey that we face in the years to come is what I characterize as the Great Redefinition."
With that in mind, read the four trends to watch heading into 2022 at the full article on Forbes.com.

Bully' charged with knocking over portable toilet with boy inside
According to the New Castle County Police Department, a 14-year-old intentionally knocked over the toilet, with the victim inside, and then walked away.
New Castle County Police have arrested a 14-year-old after he forced a 7-year-old boy into a portable toilet and then knocked it over onto the door.
The victim was trapped inside and injured while the waste poured all over him.
"It's troubling," said New Castle County Police Department Senior Cpl. Trinidad Navarro. "I mean, I have a 6-year-old and I can't tell you how tremendously traumatized she would be by something like this."
It happened Sunday night at about 7:45 on Scottfield Drive in Newark. Police say three boys, ages 7 and 8, were riding their bikes in Hann Park when the teenager threatened one and forced him into a "Port-o-John."
Authorities say the teen then intentionally pushed over the toilet onto the door so the victim could not get out. He then walked away as the victim was screaming to get out.
The boy's two friends were able to get him out. The victim, who was covered in feces and urine, went home and told his father.
Navarro says the boy suffered a knee injury, not to mention any possible emotional scars.
"We're hoping that the victim recovers," he said. "But we also hope that the defendant himself gets the help that he needs because clearly he didn't realize how serious this was. It could have killed a young man."
The 14-year-old is charged with unlawful imprisonment, assault and harassment. He has been arraigned and released to his parents. He was also ordered to have no contact with the victim.

2011 BMW X3 xDrive35i at the International Media Launch
Home » Models » BMW X3 » 2011 BMW X3 xDrive35i at the International Media Launch
October 16, 2010 / 1 minutes read
Yesterday, BMW hosted the International Media Launch of the new 2011 BMW X3. Our own Hugo Becker attended the event and shared with us his initial impressions. To emphasize the new design and road presence of the new X3, BMW provided an extensive photo gallery of the car captured around Atlanta.
Before jumping into the extensive photo gallery, here are some technical facts. The new top model BMW X3 xDrive35i features BMW's newest turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 "N55" engine combining direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbo technology and Valvetronic. The N55 engine develops a maximum output of 300 hp at 5,800 rpm, with peak torque of 300 lb-ft available all the way from 1,200–5,000 rpm. Redline is 7,000 rpm.
This engine enables the X3 xDrive35i to sprint from 0 to 60mph in just 5.5 seconds (preliminary). Top speed is electronically limited to 150mph when fitted with the optional Sport Package.
For the US, the entry-level X3 xDrive28i will feature BMW's award-winning magnesium/aluminum 3.0-liter inline-6. In 2006 and 2007, the "N52" was awarded the distinction of being one of Wards 10 Best Engines of the Year. Its magnesium/aluminum construction, Valvetronic variable valve lift and Double-VANOS are features found only on BMW engines, and it is currently the lightest six cylinder engine for its size class in the world. The N52 in the X3 is rated at 240 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 230 lb-ft of torque between 2,600 and 3,000 rpm.
That's good enough to accelerate from 0 -60 mph in 6.7 seconds (preliminary). That's nearly a half-second quicker than the previous X3 xDrive30i equipped with an automatic transmission.

I know the feeling, I drag myself to the gym on a semi-regular basis, though I should do more given that last summer I was down to 73.5kg and now I'm back up at 82kg – but I keep telling myself that's a net 3kg loss year-on-year, so I'm still quids in. Plus I gave up smoking and I've been going through some depressing times so food and booze have been turned to.
At least you tried. 🙂 My next profession is to start a blog called, "Moveyourass.com." You're already there.


3 Star Ratings: the Reviewer's Perspective – Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
Three stars for me is "I liked it." It held my attention enough to keep me reading. It may not have wowed me, but there was something to like and I did. When I'm reading reviews, I don't like to look at rankings so much as the opinions, because I've seen glowing opinions with low rankings, and harsh opinions with high rankings.
I can tell when I pull together the database for Ebook Review Central, that some people consistently rate low, some high. But a 3 or a C is usually "liked" or "good" or "worth my time" or something along those lines.
A+ or 5 stars is practically "stand on street corners and harangue passing strangers into reading the book".
I can relate to the novella situation. I need more! Many great thoughts here. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! If it was good, it should be a whole book. Sometimes I just feel so…teased. Of course, sometimes they are "teaser novellas". But when that's all there is, I'm left feeling a bit like Oliver Twist.
And just wait til tomorrow, when they authors come back with their perspective on the whole thing!
Great insight into your reviewing thoughts. So interesting. Of course, as an author, I wanted to be loved. LOL! But as a reader, I need this kind of fair assessment. It's why I look at reviews. So thank you very much!
Pauline, you are so welcome! And thanks for leaving comments on the author side. It's great that you have both perspectives.
LOL! I do love reading and I like finding out what others think about books. When I became an author, though, I lost my ability to review. I guess I'm afraid of getting flamed. LOL!
That's too bad, but I can definitely understand your point! I see very few authors who have review blogs when I hunt for reviews every week.
When I write a 3 star review it means I had a goos time with the book and it was an enjoyable read, but some things didn't quite work out for me. It had the potential to be more, but doesn't mean it's bad!
Sometimes it's definitely about the potential. The book is done and I'm not ready to be done with IT!

CCF Sponsorship
Resident Cheetahs Namibia
Sponsor an individual cheetah in Namibia. The following cheetahs are available for sponsorship and are being cared for at CCF's Headquarters in Namibia. These cheetahs came to CCF as orphaned young cubs, injured adolescents, or they were kept as pets and turned over as adults. For multiple reasons resident cheetahs would not be able to successfully care for themselves in the wild so they cannot be released.
It costs approximately $7,000AUD per year to feed, house, and provide medical care for each cheetah being cared for at CCF headquarters in Namibia and at our cheetah safe house in Somaliland.
Al Pacino is a ten year old (as of 2021) male that was previously kept in captivity on a farm with three other cheetahs, one male named Al Pacino and two females, Old Lady and Marisa. In 2021 CCF was called to pick them up. The two males have a lot of scars on their faces (hence their nicknames) and we aren't sure why. We separated the males from the females and now they are living in two very large enclosures.
Sponsor A Resident Cheetah
Aurora was brought to CCF as a cub (only several weeks old) in April 2013. A farmer found Aurora without any sign of her mother and kept her for 2 weeks before calling CCF.
When she arrived at CCF her claws had been cut, she was malnourished, and was extremely frightened. Since being at CCF she has been introduced to another female cub, Rainbow, who arrived at CCF around the same time. The two have become companions and now share an enclosure.
Bella came to CCF in December 2017 and is about a year and a half old. Bella was kept as a pet on a private farm with a male cheetah, Katiti. After not having permits granted to continue keeping them from the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the pair were handed over to CCF. Before arriving at CCF, the pair had a poor diet of chicken necks. They have been transferred on to a diet of red meat with a vitamin and calcium supplement to help them grow and develop properly.
Bella is very habituated to people and will always purr whenever people are around her. She is confident in nature and is learning quickly during her training sessions at CCF. Both Bella and Katiti are inseparable, spending most of their days together exploring the new enclosures and meeting other cheetahs.
Dominic was orphaned in the Khomas region of Namibia. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) contacted CCF and staff drove out to meet a farmer reporting that someone had dropped off a cub at her farm. The farmer was looking after the cub for about a week but she became concerned when the cub started to have health problems. The farmer was was not able to provide the right level of care necessary for Dominic. It is unclear how he became separated from its mother.
CCF staff picked up the Dominic and took him to a local vet for an initial assessment before bringing it back to CCF. He was about 10-14 days old and his eyes had just opened. He didn't have any teeth yet. CCF staff prepared and sterilized a nursery area for him and began a feeding schedule of cat milk supplement every three hours. The little cub was very responsive to care, and was very active with lots of chirping and purring at feeding time. He slept very well and got plenty of rest and lots of special care from CCF staff and is now doing well.
Hans arrived at CCF in 2020. He was caught in a capture cage and his family could not be found. Hans came from a farm in the Gobabis area. Staff from our CCF East base collected the cub from the farmer with the help from the Ministry of Environment, Forestry & Tourism (MEFT), staff. They met CCF's cheetah team halfway for a transfer. Hans was not in good shape when we received after being in a capture cage for about a week or so before the farmer was in contact with CCF. He has healed and recuperated and is now close with resident cheetah Rocket.
In September 2019, CCF's staff drove 9 hours in a round trip to pick up Jaya. A nice Namibian farmer had picked her up along the road. She was a very sad and scared cub. She had been found next to her mother who had been killed by a car. Jaya was still trying to nurse from her mother when the farmer found her. The farmer took her home and put her in a clothes closet for a day to keep her safe and secure. She recovered at CCF and has thrived in friendship with fellow orphaned cubs, Rocket and Hans.
JEV came to CCF in November 2021. JEV lost his mom and siblings in a catch cage on a farm. JEV is named after French racecar driver Jean-Éric Vergne, known as JEV for short. The cheetah JEV loves food so keepers are using that as motivation in helping him to gain comfort in his examinations and any necessary human interactions. We are working to give him proper socialization with cheetahs that are young enough for him to be able to safely play and he is working toward making friends with them at CCF's Centre in Namibia.
Katiti came to CCF in December 2017 and is about a year old. Katiti, however not tame, was kept on a private farm with a very tame female cheetah, Bella. He had been castrated a couple months earlier. After not having permits granted to continue keeping them from the Ministry of Enviroment and Tourism, the pair were handed over to CCF.
Before arriving at CCF, the pair had a poor diet of chicken necks so have been transferred on to a diet of red meat with a vitamin and calcium supplement to help them grow and develop properly. Katiti is quite a shy cheetah and is always keeping a close eye on what's going on around him. He tends to follow Bella around everywhere she goes which is helping him gain confidence along with the close work of his keepers. Both Bella and Katiti are inseparable, spending most of their days together exploring the new enclosures and meeting other cheetahs.
Khaleesi's mother Daenerys was released in February of 2019 and we had been monitoring her, collecting her satellite collar data ever since. In February 2021, CCF and Erindi Private Game Reserve staff noticed that there was a problem with Daenerys's data.
When we went to investigate, CCF staff discovered that Daenerys had a broken leg so we took her back to our Centre. Animal healthcare staff also noticed she was pregnant. Daenerys underwent several surgeries to heal her leg and While she was in recovery she gave birth to Khaleesi. Due to the nature of Daenerys's injuries, she could not properly take care of her cub. CCF staff stepped in and now Khaleesi is growing up as a resident cheetah here at CCF's Headquarters in Namibia.
Koya came to CCF in July 2017 with his brother, Niko, they were about 6 months old. The two cubs had been at a small holding north of Otjiwarongo for over two months after being captured and sold to the people CCF received them from by the local butcher. The two cubs had been kept in a small chicken coop, fed a poor diet of offal and fatty meat with no calcium or vitamin supplementation and was suffuring from early stage metabolic bone disease. Koya had had no exercise, so was very overweight, When the brothers first arrived, they were very nervous and cautious of people.
Now, Koya is very confident and loves stalking birds. He always comes running over to greet his keepers and has learnt how to run on our lure course to stay fit and healthy. He spends most of his day with his brother Niko exploring their enclosure together and meeting other cheetahs here at the centre. Because the brothers will be resident cheetahs, they are going through some training with their keepers to make their life here as stress free as possible e.g. Crush cage training, injection/blood draw training, feeding at the centre with the other cheetahs.
Marisa came from a farm where she was being kept in captivity with three other cheetahs. Two males, Al Pacino and Scarface. They were held at the farm for the past seven years and in 2021 CCF was called to pick them up. Marisa is a very independent cat and now living in Eland's Pen with five other females. She is a bit of a loner and very feisty.
Mischief first arrived in July 2009 with his siblings Polly and Phil. They born to a wild cheetah that had been collared. Their mother became caught in a cattle fence and suffered extensive damage to her abdomen and could not be saved by CCF's vet team. We were so fortunate to be able to rescue the cubs because of the GPS data transmitted and tracked by CCF's staff. We had noticed that her behavior and traffic patterns meant that she had cubs in a den nearby. We searched and found the young cubs and took them to CCF for rehabilitation.
In March 2011, Mischief was loaned to another facility. He returned to CCF in Aug 2014. Mischief and Phil are very food motivated – they really love food. Their personalities are a bit different, Mischief is a bit more crazy and energetic and Phil is more relaxed.
Old Lady came from a farm where she was being kept in captivity with three other cheetahs. Two males, Al Pacino and Scarface. They were held at the farm for the past seven years and in 2021 CCF was called to pick them up. From an examination of her teeth we think that Old Lady is approximately thirteen years old (as of 2021). She is completely blind and missing a portion of her ear. She has a very shy and skittish personality so CCF staff will work with her to make sure she is not stressed in her new home.
Peter was caught by a farmer in the Khomas Hochland area, east of Windhoek, when he was about one year old. CCF does not know what happened to the rest of his family as he was too young to be on his own at that stage. The farmer gave him to a lodge, and he was kept there as a companion for their tame cheetah. However, they never got along and after a year the farmer decided he did not want Peter anymore. CCF fetched Peter in June 2006.
CCF had been following Polly's mom via satellite radio collar for a year; and in July 2009 a farmer called to say the mother was found dead. CCF staff knew that she had cubs, so, working with the farmer, they set catch cages and caught Polly with her three siblings after about a week. They were ~3 months' old. They now live at CCF. Polly is the only female of the four cubs, and is named after Polly Hix, a donor of CCF. She is playful and never misses an opportunity to pounce on and wrestle her brothers until they respond and play with her.
In February, 2013, a local farmer had found Rainbow by the side of the road and had brought her back to his farm. After a week of trying to nurture her back to health, he called CCF to pick her up. CCF found Rainbow in a small cage. She was frightened, and while the farmer had been able to give her a little food during the week, she was very thin. She was given the name Rainbow, in honor of the bright rainbows that had appeared in the sky during the more than three hour drive it took to retrieve her. Rainbow is one of a pair of cubs that have formed a coalition of sorts after both were rescued from different farms. She and her coalition mate, Aurora, are adjusting well to life at CCF and are quite popular with our visitors.
Rocket (HeChee) came to CCF at about 7 -8 weeks old in 2019. He was very small, tired and scared when he first arrived. The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) said that Rocket was caught by farmer after his dog was found chasing it. The farmer kept Rocket for a week and tried to get a permit to keep him but MEFT denied the request. Rocket was paired with Jaya who arrived shortly before he did. They became adoptive siblings and are very close now. The three can usually be found snuggling together in their enclosure.
Sasha came to CCF in January 2018 at around 5 months old. She was rescued by a farmer who found her on his farm sick and weak. She was turned over to CCF for rehabilitation. During her first week at CCF, she had a routine check up and a mass was found in her stomach. She had emergency surgery to remove it, which turned out to be a chewed up rubber ball. After rest and care from her keepers, she recovered very well.
Since her surgery she has moved to a much larger enclosure and is growing up fast. She's very feisty and likes to let everyone know how she's feeling with her loud chirps and calls. She loves to sit up on the highest mound in her enclosure so she can watch over all the other cheetahs and see when more treats are coming. She is learning to play and run and will introduced to some of the other cheetahs once she is a bit older and bigger.
Scarface is an eleven year old (as of 2021) male that was previously kept in captivity on a farm with three other cheetahs, one male named Al Pacino and two females, Old Lady and Marisa. The two males have a lot of scars on their faces (hence their nicknames) and we aren't sure why. We separated the males from the females and now they are living in two very large enclosures.
Senay is one of the four Okakarara Cubs, which were brought to CCF when they were only a few weeks old in 2010. Senay and her brothers Khayjay and Peter and her sister Tiger Lily live together at the CCF Center and are being specially trained to be Ambassador Cheetahs. They will meet visiting school groups, distinguished guests, farmers, and other people from all over Namibia, and will teach everyone they encounter about the cheetah and its race against extinction. Senay loves to keep company with her siblings and works very cooperatively with her handlers.

Sponsor the Livestock Guarding Dog Program in Namibia. CCF's Livestock Guarding Dogs are at the core of its efforts to address the human-wildlife conflict that threatens the cheetah. The Anatolian shepherd and Kangal dogs, raised and bred at CCF Namibia headquarters, are placed with Namibian farmers. Updates will be provided twice per year at the program level, updates on individual dogs are not possible at this time.
The dogs protect livestock from cheetah attacks, barking loudly whenever they see a cheetah or predator, scaring the big cats away. Farmers no longer need to kill cheetahs to protect their livestock and their livelihood.
Each Livestock Guarding Dog costs CCF over $1,500AUD per year in care and farmer support training programs. These costs include food, vaccinations, new-owner support, veterinary care and long-term monitoring.

One hundred years since the gift of The Harlequin
The Harlequin is one of the most emblematic paintings of the Museu Picasso, a painting that that shouldn't be missing from any anthology of the permanent collection. Apart from its importance within the group of the most outstanding works of the museum, the painting is important for us because it was the first gift that Picasso donated to the Art Museums of Barcelona, the city where he was formed and became consolidated as an artist. The museum is now celebrating the centenary of that pioneering donation in 1919. Picasso had produced the painting two years before in Barcelona, during his stay between June and November 1917, on the occasion of the performance in the Teatre del Liceu of the ballet Parade with the company of the Russian ballet of Serguei Diàghilev. The painter had designed the costumes and the stage curtain of the show, and accompanied the company on their tour, already falling in love with the person who would become his first wife, the dancer Olga Khokhlova.

Precisely the young blonde with a melancholy pose in a suit of blue, green and salmon pink who was the model for The Harlequin, was the choreographer and lead dancer of the company of Diaghilev, Léonide Massine, who had become a good friend of Picasso in Rome. The sketches for the work and the major similarity with the face of the Muscovite dancer corroborate this, even though Josep Palau i Fabre assured that Picasso rejected the fact that the painting was a portrait of Massine.

The iconography of the Harlequin, one of the archetypal characters of the Commedia dell'Arte, was already recurring in Picasso's work, above all during the Rose Period. Picasso did this portrait in a figurative style, almost touching on academicism, in a moment in which the artist combined cubist works with other more classical ones. The Barcelona Harlequin, on the other hand, adapted perfectly to the predominant artistic tastes in Barcelona in the moment of its execution. The painting was incorporated in the museum from the moment of its opening in 1963, given that Picasso's works that already belonged to the municipal museums were included in its collection.
The museum is celebrating the centenary of Picasso's donation with various activities. We have held a roundtable exploring the evolution of the figure of the Harlequin in Picasso's work on 14th May, with the participation of Malén Gual, conservator of the museum's collection; Vicent Llorca, director of the magazine Zirkòlika; Raffaele de Ritis, specialist in circus and the Commedia dell'Arte; and Ferruccio Soleri, Harlequin actor in the Teatro Piccolo of Milan from 1959 to 2017; moderated by the director of the museum, Emmanuel Guigon.
Poster of Centenary of the donation of the work Harlequin by Pablo Picasso to Barcelona
Also throughout this week, on the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th, as well as on 18th May, coinciding with the International Museum day, the museum's public will encounter characters from the Commedia dell'Arte in the rooms of the permanent collection and on the ground floor, as well as from the circus carrying out acrobatics, dances, juggling and puppets. The artists invited include Circ Xic, Aurora Caja, Zero en Conducta, Dídac Cano, Kari Panska and the Russian dancers from Shansa.
The celebration will come to a close throughout the Sunday morning of 19th May in the plaça Sabartés (with free access) with activities for the whole family with various circus workshops given by the Papallona Circus, mask workshops by Anna Chwaliszewska, a drawing workshop given by Anna Tamayo and a costume workshop by Sansha. You will also be able to see a show at midday in which diverse characters from the Commedia dell'Arte such as the Harlequin, the Colombina and the Pierrot and other circus characters will do their own thing in the square.

I am a historian of modern Britain and a PhD candidate at Columbia University. I am interested in the history of gender and sexuality, the history of education, and the intellectual/cultural history of modern Britain and Europe more broadly.
My dissertation is an account of the politics and culture of gender relations in British universities between 1860 and 1935. During these 75 years, gender norms fundamentally shaped the creation of a national higher education system in Britain, and that higher education system in turn shaped the social norms that a new liberal elite encountered in a formative period in young adulthood (and in which some spent the rest of their lives as professional academics). Through extensive research in the archives of ten universities across England and Scotland, I delve deeply into individual stories, recovering lost causes, unlikely alliances, and forgotten modes of behavior—all of which demonstrate the importance of a thorough understanding of universities to wider accounts of the culture of elites in modern Europe.
I have also been working for several years on a project about the intellectual history of male homosexuality in modern Britain. Originally stemming from undergraduate research on the early theorist of homosexuality John Addington Symonds, the project is a study of the voluminous manuscript writings on homosexuality of figures such as William Johnson Cory, Symonds, E.P. Warren, G.L. Dickinson, and E.M. Forster. It seeks to distinguish a conservative, elitist strand of thinking about masculine intimacy, closely linked with elite education and with the Greek and Latin classics, and to demonstrate that this set of ideas both enjoyed widespread legitimacy within elite single-sex institutions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and played a significant role in how modern homosexual identity has been conceptualized in Britain.
As a teaching assistant, I have taught widely in British and European history and US intellectual history, and have mentored students writing senior theses. I am currently a lead instructor for Contemporary Civilization, a course focused on primary texts in Western moral and political philosophy that is part of Columbia's mandatory Core Curriculum.

Beginner Beekeeper Hive Kit is rated 2.0 out of 5 by 1.
With Harvest Lane Honey's simple all-in-one kit, you can begin beekeeping the moment the bees (not included) arrive. The hive components are 100% painted & assembled and ready to go. Includes: Outer Cover, Inner Cover, (1) deep hive body, (1) Deep Frame with Plastic Foundation, (1) Bottom Board, (1) Entrance Reducer, (1) In-hive Feeder, (1) 3x6 smoker, 1 lb. bag smoker fuel, (1) 9.5" steel hive tool, and (1) bee brush.
Kit & accessories iIncludes: hive tool, bee brush, smoker, pellets, 1 brood box, 10 frames & foundation, 1 inner cover, 1 solid bottom board & 1 flat top.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Stubocheck from Poor attention to detail. I bought this kit. The box wobbled (not flat), the knots bled thru the paint (didn't use stain block primer) . The smoker has leather bellows; but is VERY lightweight and probably won't stand up to use. The bottom board is not screened AND only has 3/8" rim board but they provide a 3/4" tall entrance reducer. Only 9 frames and a full frame size feeder with no instructions.


Mick O'Dell didn't start Racing until he was 31 and in only his 3rd full year of Racing he walked off with the Triplex Saloon Car Championship.
There were ten rounds in the Championship, all at Silverstone on the Club circuit, except the final which was on the full GP circuit, and points were awarded on a 43-2-1 basis, with prize money for each round, so competition's fierce.
Working from the Chrysler/Simca dealership in Gt. Staughton, St. Neots, which he owns with brothers Jeremy (24) and Peter (22).
Mick started racing in 1969 with a Baggers Imp trade-in doing odd sprints. Development from therein on, with Jeremy thinking and Peter spannering, led to a dozen or so wins last year and an overall 2nd in class to Graham Janzen in the 850cc class of the Triplex Championship.
This season he decided to concentrate on the Triplex Championship for the 850 cc class, again with the Imp, although he never expected to win. The people he saw as the strongest competition in other classes were Mick Hill in the 5 litre Boss Crapi, Paul Gaymer in the 1300 cc Cooper and Terry McNally in the 1000 cc Angle Box. However, out of the series of 10 races, he won 9, including one in which he did the last 4 laps on a flat tyre.
The last race of all, the car let him down for the first time ever with petrol pump failure. All in all he did 16 races this year and won 14. The other one that he did not win, he came 2nd, and that was the first race of the season, when he was still running the car in.
The Imp is very much a hobby with Mick. It has never been out for testing or special practice, just taken to meetings and then back to the shop. This year he got two complete Hartwell engines, but he has done the whole season on just one, which has been stripped down once or twice to replace the bearings.
One thing Mick did admit was that he tended to bend valves through overrevving, "but only if the opposition gets a bit hot", and then they can usually straighten out the bent ones when they get home, and use them again !
The gearbox is fitted with Hartwell close ratio gears, straight cut for 3rd and 4th and standard 1st and 2nd and that's stood up to a season's racing too.
Mick did contemplate buying a Jack Knight gearbox and even went as far as contacting them, but their general lack of interest in making a sale put him off, so he didn't bother and now he's glad he saved the money.
Mick reckons his main advantage is that the car is ultra light with ally roof, floor and side panels, as well as the usual lightweight lids.
Mick didn't tell what tweaks he had done in the suspension tuning department.
As Motor Racing is so definitely a hobby with Mick, I asked about cost. With very few replacement parts needed this year, doing the whole season on the same set of Goodyears, apart from the one that got punctured, and discounting the hours put in by himself, by Jeremy on drawing boards, by Peter on spanners, and by Diane on lap boards, Mick reckons that he has made a reasonable profit.
He is REAL amateur and holding the Silverstone lap record for 850's at 1 minute 12.6 seconds - well done.

Sato wins in Portland;
Dixon rallies for 5th
PORTLAND, Ore. — Scott Dixon salvaged his championship run with an improbable comeback Sunday at Portland International Raceway that put him in control of his race to a fifth IndyCar title.
Dixon finished fifth, far behind race winner Takuma Sato, but put together the kind of drive that may define his season. He started 11th, was collected in an opening-lap crash, penalized for speeding on pit road and twice drove through the field from 20th.
His Chip Ganassi Racing team was forced to change its strategy several times, and caution flags helped Dixon cycle ahead of the other championship contenders. The New Zealander goes to the Sept. 16 season finale with a 29-point lead over Alexander Rossi.
Rossi had a decent race Sunday but finished eighth and lost three points to Dixon.
"Huge day for the team, feels like a win for us," Dixon said.
Team Penske drivers Will Power and Josef Newgarden started on the front row and are the only other drivers mathematically eligible to win the championship. But it was a terrible day for Power, the Indianapolis 500 winner, as a mechanical problem eight laps into the race seemed to make his car stall as he pulled out of the way and conceded the lead to Rossi.
Power later went off course into a tire barrier.
Sato, meanwhile, benefited from caution flags to win for the third time in his career and first since he won the Indianapolis 500 last season. The victory was his first with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
Ryan Hunter-Reay nearly caught Sato over the final two laps but wound up second. Sebastien Bourdais, the last winner of an open wheel race at Portland in 2007, was third.
Kapler: Pitchers allowed
to use cheat sheets
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies manager Gabe Kapler says he has been informed pitchers are allowed to use the type of cheat sheets that umpire Joe West confiscated from reliever Austin Davis on Saturday night.
Kapler made his remarks before Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs.
Kapler and Davis said the left-hander was using the card merely for information on the Cubs hitters. But West said it was illegal under Rule 6.02(c)(7), which states that the pitcher shall not have on his person, or in his possession, any foreign substance.
West, who is in his 41st season as an umpire, indicated Saturday night that he contacted the league office to see if the cards, which aren't specifically banned in the rule book, would be allowed.
Boone suspended 1
game for nicking umpire
NEW YORK — Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been suspended one game by Major League Baseball for nicking the plate umpire with his cap during an animated argument over the weekend.
Boone served the penalty Sunday when New York hosted Detroit. He also was fined an undisclosed amount.
Bench coach Josh Bard ran the team in Boone's absence.
Boone was ejected Friday night by plate ump Nic Lentz for arguing balls and strikes. Boone got into a crouch behind the plate, imitating a catcher gloving a pitch, and then argued nose-to-nose with Lentz.
During the dispute, the bill of Boone's hat touched Lentz's hat.
"Obviously, I got a little too close for comfort there, so that's part of the deal. I just got to accept that," the first-year manager said before the game.
"Look, I was arguing. I got kicked out of the game. I reacted how I reacted. Unfortunately, I got a little too close, so I do regret that," he said. "I always want to be in control, in control of my emotions to a degree, but sometimes you also have to state your claim and defend certain things that are important. But I definitely shouldn't have nicked his cap."
Asked if this was something he could keep in mind for a similar situation in the future, Boone said: "Yeah, or just flip the cap the around backwards and let 'er rip."
"I'll be hopefully better, learning from this and commanding my emotions in a better way," he said.
Hamilton denies Ferrari
a home win at Italian GP
MONZA, Italy — Lewis Hamilton denied Ferrari a dream home win at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday as he overtook Kimi Raikkonen eight laps from the end to claim a fifth victory in seven years at Monza.
The Mercedes driver beat Raikkonen, who had started in pole, to tie Michael Schumacher's record of five Italian GP victories and extend his championship lead to 30 points over Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who had a nightmare start.
Valtteri Bottas was third in his Mercedes, ahead of Vettel and Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who received a 5-second penalty.
Hamilton had started third, behind Raikkonen and Vettel after the Ferraris started on the front row, booking the top two places at Monza for the first time since 2000.
The championship leader put Vettel under pressure immediately but Vettel pulled clear and was alongside Raikkonen into the first corner.
Hamilton had another go on the outside heading into the second chicane, inching ahead of Vettel when they made contact causing Vettel to spin and lose part of his front wing.
The safety car was deployed and Vettel went into the pits for a new front wing, coming out 18th.
Both drivers complained on team radio but an investigation decided that no further action was necessary.
Moments after the safety car came in on lap four, Hamilton swiftly overtook Raikkonen on the straight but gave the lead back almost immediately at the second chicane.
Meanwhile, Vettel was powering through the field and had made it back into the top 10 by lap 15 and was up to fifth nine laps later. But the German's hopes of getting onto the podium were diminished when he was forced to make another pit stop and came out 10th.
Raikkonen pitted from the lead at the end of lap 20 and came out fourth, behind Hamilton, his Mercedes teammate Bottas and Verstappen.
Hamilton waited until the end of lap 28 to come in for fresh tires, handing the lead to Bottas who was ahead of a charging Raikkonen.
Hamilton emerged third and with his teammate holding up Raikkonen, the British driver was able to close the gap.
When Bottas eventually pitted at the end of lap 36, the fight was on, with Raikkonen holding a one-second advantage over Hamilton.
A few laps later Hamilton struck, coming around the outside of Raikkonen on turn one at the end of the straight to overtake the Finn and never looked back.
Behind them there was a scrap for third place culminating at the first chicane when Verstappen appeared to move into Bottas, forcing the Finnish driver onto an escape road.
Verstappen was furious when he was told he had been given a 5-second penalty for his role in the incident on team radio, swearing and adding: "They're doing a great job of killing racing, honestly."
